However, when Josh exaggerates about parking a distance away and parking elsewhere near the entrance to prevent sweating, Drake causes Josh to run into Oprah. When they get to the hospital to apologize, they cannot get past security so Drake tricks them and the whole hospital into believing Josh has a virus, which, in return, leads to him being chemically bathed. In the end, Drake makes it up to an enraged Josh by throwing him a surprise party, with a signed restraining order from Oprah and a new motor scooter as his presents.
